Forgive me — what’s a prig?

It is defined in the first two sentences of the article. I’ll duplicate those sentences here:

> The word "prig" isn't very common now, but if you look up the definition, it will sound familiar. Google's isn't bad:

>> A self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if superior to others.

From the article’s first couple sentences: > The word "prig" isn't very common now, but if you look up the definition, it will sound familiar. Google's isn't bad: A self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if superior to others.
